Beautiful 2001 540i with LOTS OF EXRAS!!! This is a beautiful example of a 2001 BMW 540i. My wife and I bought this for an around town cruiser for my wife and once the snow hit, she was afraid to drive something that wasnt AWD. We dont have room to keep it, otherwise it would stay... Exterior- The paint and body is in very good condition for a 13 year old car. The front has a few rock chips, but nothing excessive. The car has been clay bar cleaned and buffed to perfection, so the whole car is perfect smooth to the touch. It is a very straight body car, no damage. The windshield isnt cracked and all the other glass is perfect. The headlights have LED rings, and have HID bulbs. SUPER bright at night! The fog lights are SUPER bright and from an X5(I believe), The wheels on this car were powder coated(by previous owner) a very dark root beer brown. So dark, its almost like a metallic black. They are in perfect condition, no curb rash, no bends. The rear tires still have some life left(~5k miles) and the fronts are ready to be replaced. Interior- Overall, I rated the interior very good and that can be seen in person(and pics)! The leather on the seats, doors, armrest, and steering wheel have no cracks or tears. The power seats work great in all directions. The radio works and sounds great, has an original in dash 6 CD changer. It also has an iPod/iPhone(old style connector) connector for connection to your music. The display has a slight dark spot on the left side, but all numbers and letters are completely visible.

BMW rethinks all-wheel-drive M cars

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

BMW M hasn't been able to decide whether it wants to jump on the all-wheel-drive bandwagon or not (with the exceptions of the X5 M and the X6 M, which are based on AWD architecture). That might be changing though, since M's president Friedrich Nitschke recently realized that 70 to 80 percent of Mercedes-Benz E63 AMGs are ordered with all-wheel drive. Earlier this year, Nitschke said that there were no new AWD M models planned, so this comes as somewhat of a surprise.
"On our cars we are thinking of all-wheel drive, but it won't come before we get the successor of the M5 and M6," Nitschke said in a Motoring report. "That's the timing and it's not practical to react in the current life cycles."

2014 BMW M235i

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

We know a number of BMW owners who reside in the Munich brand's core demographic - upper-five- and six-figure professionals who like to keep their automotive brand credentials as highly respected among their peers as their alma maters or the letters after their names. Before heading to Las Vegas to drive the new M235i, we asked four of those owners, "What did you think of the E30 3 Series?" Although phrased differently, every one of them had the same answer: "What's that?"
You can counter that we just happened to query a tiny and ignorant sample size, and it's possible that you're right. Nevertheless, in every case,we were speaking to BMW's core demographic, the increasing legion of buyers who have fostered another year of record growth and are responsible for BMW retaining its global luxury title for nine straight years. Question that, and we'll refer you to BMW's marketing department, its several hundred PowerPoint slides and several thousand pages of research that prove the point.
That second-generation E30 3 Series built a name, a brand and an entire segment by defining BMW-ness as superlative driving dynamics meets luxury - shortened to the phrase, "The Ultimate Driving Machine." Thirty years later, just being a part of BMW-ness and luxury is enough for the majority of buyers. The superlative handling, that's optional, and 150 hairy guys meet every Tuesday to keep the old religion going, light torches, sing dirges to the siren long gone and bang on their keyboards about the apostasies of modern buyers.

BMW releases complete pricing info on M3 and M4

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When BMW unveiled the M3 and M4 at the Detroit Auto Show back in January, we told you that the new sportsters were starting at $62,000 and $64,200, respectively. That leaked info, though, only told a small part of the story for the new M cars. Now, we have the complete pricing sheet on the new coupe and sedan, direct from BMW.
The pricing intel that we had at the time was correct - prices start at $62,000 for four doors and $64,200 for two. Those prices don't include the $925 destination charge. Potential customers should also plan on spending an extra $550, as seven of the eight paint options are of the metallic variety. BMW's trademark Alpine White is the only no-cost paint option.
As for the cabin, customers will, interestingly, have the choice of a cloth/leather combination as standard. That's in addition to the standard suite of leather options. There are also extended leather and full leather options, for $950 and $3,500, respectively. There are three option packages available, covering all the extra goodies for the M3 and M4.
